1. INTRODUCTION
The outcome from our SMDP class - Business Leadership and Management for Results is to present a Personal Leadership Plan, which will highlight the areas I need personal development, as well as areas of strengths I can build on.

This Personal Leadership Plan is based on feedback received from the Insights Discovery profile, which was compiled from my responses to the Insights Preference Evaluator, completed on 22 May 2015. Additional information used as input were:
• Personal feedback forms, received back from my spouse, friends and colleges,
• Results from the class assessments done.

Key Learnings from this class for me was becoming aware that being a leader does not mean you stop growing, but that I need to continually seek …show more content…

Excellent organisation In any situation someone needs to bring everything together, by providing direction, leadership and assistance to those needing it and leaving no gaps for potential failure.

2.3 ASSESSMENT OF MY WEAKNESSES
Insights Discovery has highlighted the below items as WEAKNESSES:
- Confidence can sometimes be interpreted as arrogance.
- Blaming and judgmental, particularly when challenged on shortcomings, can become defensive or dictatorial if challenged.
- Over reliance on traditional practises.
- Impatience with others I see as having lower standards.
- Appears to be critical or to de-value the work of others.
- May appear cold and unfeeling (this is BAD).
- Usually puts facts before feelings.
- May step on toes of others to achieve objectives.
- Often fails to take sufficient account of others opinions.
I am shocked to have to agree with most of the weaknesses listed, but I am thankful to be able to open my eyes to this insight so I can action development for better results in these areas…

A good mother and valued friend. I wish to know that I have touched everyone’s lives in a good way, making it better by word and/or action!

2.6 BUSINESS CONNEXION
Business Connexion is moving towards being the Leading Enabler of the Internet of Things in Africa.
What challenges this brings is that I will be classified as the “old regime or old wood” that needs to be chopped… The new “Y” generation is the workforce of tomorrow and my current way of work will not “fit” into the new generation’s attitude of anywhere, anyhow, anyway, specifically related to my weaknesses of being too rigid and stuck on old traditional processes.
I have adapted my Personal Leadership Plan to perform research and modify my way of work to be more flexible and adaptable so the new generation will find me “ready” for them and a valuable asset in their new world, with value to add and not someone holding them back…
...AND I have learned in this class to consciously be less me when required and listen more to the individual “opposite” to me, since everyone has value to add in their own special way – it does not have to be MY WAY or the HIGH WAY…I need to stop taking myself to seriously!!! – Thank you for that too…!!!
